JOCKY WILSON SAID

Produced by A Play, A Pie and A Pint at Òran Mór, presented in association with Aberdeen Performing Arts.

It’s 1979 and rising Scottish darts star Jocky Wilson is in America to play an exhibition match. He misses his ride to the next venue and, flat broke, sets out to hitch hike across the Nevada desert. With only a cactus for company, the diminutive Fifer, reflects on his life and career…

Jocky Wilson Said tells the story of one of sport’s most unlikely and most loved heroes who overcame many challenges to become a double world champion.
